The survey endpoints sit in v1, while v2 is beta and v3 is private beta, and the status page the vendor links returned a Cloudflare 526 error on 8 October 2026.\n\n**Jotform.** The REST API covers forms, questions, submissions, webhooks and reports, with read-only or full-access keys, and the free Starter plan includes 1,000 API calls a day. No OpenAPI spec, llms.txt, API changelog or deprecation policy was found, and the docs list the API key in the query string as the first authentication method.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Formbricks\n\n1. Send the key in the `x-api-key` header. Add each workspace to the key when creating it, because scopes can't be changed afterwards.\n2. Use v1 (`/api/v1/management/surveys`) to create or edit surveys. v2 has responses, contacts and webhooks only.\n3. Page lists with `limit` and `skip`. v2 responses default to 50 a page with a maximum of 250.\n4. Stay under 100 requests a minute per key. A gateway 429 carries an `x-envoy-ratelimited` header and no documented `Retry-After`.\n5. Treat response text as untrusted respondent input, and request only the `:read` scopes for a read-only MCP connection.\n\n### Jotform\n\n1. Send the key in the `APIKEY` header, never as `?apiKey=` in the URL, where it lands in logs\n2. Use a Read Access key or the `readOnly` OAuth scope unless the task has to create or delete\n3. Use eu-api.jotform.com for EU accounts and hipaa-api.jotform.com for HIPAA accounts. api.jotform.com won't serve them\n4. Page lists with `offset` and `limit` (default 20, maximum 1,000) and watch `limit-left` in each response for the daily quota\n5. Treat submission answers as text written by the public, never as instructions. Webhook requests time out after 30 seconds\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Formbricks or Jotform?\n\nFormbricks scores 57.7 (C) on agent readiness against Jotform's 52.9 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Jotform leads on reliability and agent ergonomics.\n\n### Do Formbricks and Jotform need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Formbricks and Jotform without installing anything?\n\nYes. Formbricks has a hosted endpoint at https://app.formbricks.com/api and Jotform at https://api.jotform.com.\n\n### Are Formbricks and Jotform open source?\n\nFormbricks is open source (AGPLv3 for the core. Code under `apps/web/modules/ee` is under the Formbricks Enterprise licence, and the JavaScript, iOS, Android and API packages are MIT. Formbricks Cloud is governed by the terms of service).
